Notes and Comments.

Gen. Joseph B. Seth, of Talbot county, has
authorized the announcement to be made that
he is not a candidate for Attorney General.
Secretary of the Treasury Manning will
shortly resign, and it is said that Hon. George
H. Pendletou will be invited to succeed him.
Wilmot johnson, of Baltimore county, is
an applicant for Commissioner under the In.
ter State Commerce Bill. The salary is ST.

cants, from all parts of the country. There
are to be three commissioners.
Mr.. Randall, it is said, will not be made
chairman of the Appropriations Committee of
the next House, as his notions are not in ac-
cord with the Democratic majority, and it is
alleged that he has used his position to defeat
or impede legislation not in accordance with
his peculiar views.

The Maryland militia is a little top-heavy.
The non commissioned officers and musicians

% general staff officers, 80 regimental and
staff officers and ia commissioned officers.
In the event of the militia being called into the
field, if the officers were put in front they
would make such an imposing array the enemy
would suppose there was an army Of at least
$4,000 behind.
